[@arunkanagan]

Nice well done

[@LearntoInvest]

Thanks :)

[@surenderyadav7738]

Hi, Jimmy can you recommend some books on investing.

[@westwoodoralsurgerydentalgroup]

Great lecture… your awesome… question, if Nike had Negative Goodwill in the liability section, would it be a positive or negative value?

[@AlexOus]

What are the numbers that we as investors should pay more attention to? Here you mentioned "Total assets" vs "Total liabilities", other mention "Cash and Cash Equivalents + Short term investments + Long Term investments" vs "Short term Debt + Long term Debt". Can you please clarify? That could probably be a good idea for a new video. Thanks mate

[@makk3480]

Thanks for the super awesome video! I had a doubt, why don't we add expenses like salaries, wages.. expenses from the income statement in the balance sheet under the liabilities section? Can someone please explain?

[@donnico3653]

Can common stock change? Also, what exactly is par value for stock?

[@jahimisamazing7883]

perfect

[@krymyLR]

Hi nice video. Could you explain why sometimes retained earnings are negative? thank you

[@jasonblack4918]

where do you find all this information

[@joromsimpson718]

so how do you make these adjustments

[@iwian64]

Well explained, although for me, new, still confusing .... can you tell what is important to check and what kind of calculation we need to make? Thank you

[@SB-yq6ze]

best video i have seen describing these elements. you lost me on the common stock / par value bit though!

[@G1Martins]

Awesome video. A question about minority interest. I assume this is the same as non-controlling interest. Is this term associated with the Nike's ownership of other companies or other companies holding a minority stake in Nike?

[@sameerforyou01]

what is "Additional Paid In Capital" in common equity?

[@001jaykay]

What if you have too much assets? Is that a bad thing?

[@ahounfe]

so where do we find number of shares outstanding in the balance sheet please ?

[@aguitarcalledchutzpah]

Thanks for the vid but, personally, Im bamboozled. I mean, what exactly are we looking for to say its a green light or a red light as to whether to invest? It sounds like one has to be a full time day trader or investor to understand and do all this.

[@ericniedzielski5259]

That’s a great question id like to know too. Thanks to the vid we understand what everything is, but not exactly how to compare things as good/bad

[@rickyGman11]

@@ericniedzielski5259 I know this is a 4 month old comment but regardless. Perhaps you can skim over some of the overt details and look at the overall. Typically when investing you look for long-term company health, so you can focus on how assets compare from one year to the next, are liabilities increasing or decreasing at a reasonable rate (but I do know what you mean though, because what would be considered a reasonable rate?)

[@G500sottovoce]

How is it that Treasury stock is zero if they have been buying back stocks?

[@donttread5414]

Confused on PP&E in liabilities. How exactly does this work? Is it deducted at a percent yearly until $0? Say Nike spends $1B in 2010 on a factory. Would the balance sheet show $1B in 2010 for PP&E, and then in 2011 will it now be $0.9B or a similiar deduction? When its deducted, where does the other half go to balance it out?

[@Mrgethuge]

if a campany includes prepaid expenses in other assets instead of other current assets why is this

[@lincoln9200]

I want to find an EASY way to see if a company has enough cash to pay the Dividends and possibly raise their dividend. I DO NOT have a Masters or PHD KEEP IT EASY and fast, Thanks

[@cabca8745]

shouldn't net tangible assets be total assets minus intangible assets ( instead of tangible assets minus intangible assets)? Thank you.

[@markgoodwin6695]

He got it wrong. Net tangible assets = tangible assets - debt. So a measure of what shareholders would get if the company was liquidated: you self the tangible assets, pay off creditors, then give the shareholders the remaining cash (in theory).

[@Mrgethuge]

if a company has long term deferred liability assets of 4million and deferred long term liability charges of 8million will the 4million in deffered long term liability assets cancel out part of the 8 million deffered long term liability charges

[@mikehollowayuk]

The Seth McFarlane of Finance 😀

[@rplayer360]

Why does it go up by 10 and not 100 when it's 1, 000 shares times 1 penny?

[@gustavoherrera7859]

Man, congratulations, it was so well explained. Following your examples, what would be the items from assets and liabilities to create the the Net debt? I'd really appreciate you'd be very specific for a better understanding🙏 Cheers
